Mattia Leone describes the initiatives aimed at addressing climate change in urban environments through education, research, and collaboration with stakeholders. His work involves a network that focuses on integrating climate action in cities, specifically through mitigation, adaptation, and sustainability. UCCRN, in fact, is an educational alliance promoted by several European universities and international networks, aiming to train future professionals who can lead urban climate actions. Leone also talks about the Urban Design Climate Workshop (UDCW), a flexible methodology for urban planning that uses climate analysis, simulation tools, and stakeholder engagement to create climate-friendly designs. The approach combines scientific data (like climate projections) with community input, using collaborative tools that involve both experts and non-experts. This process fosters the co-creation of urban solutions, blending technology (e.g., GIS, 3D modeling) with participatory practices.
